Re: Capital road
A friend of mine gave me the tank ,so I could build a bulldozer . It would be the biggest dozer I've seen . As of today it has a new home with my good buddy who always wanted a big toy . Mike

Your road building skills are top notch Mike. What exactly did you use? Is it crusher fines or stone dust? Looks like it packed very well and is rc truck friendly for sure. |

Re: Capital road
Hi Mario I bought what I call stone dust and put down an inch wet it and pack it with my packer in a previous photo . Then repeat another inch and pack and inches til get where I want to . I also put weed cloth under it all . I have one hill and my KH would always spin or lose traction and I had a brain wave I sprinkled the road with polymeric sand what they use in interlocking stone .

Re: Capital road
I had the same thoughts with using 7/8's trains next to my 1/14 equipment. Can we get more pictures of your layout and rolling stock? Model railroading has been a hobby of mine since I was 5. At the moment I am into HO scale 1/87, nothing built yet, just bought cars and an engine.

Re: Capital road
That is a very nice looking road Mike. 1/2 " thick, should be very solid even for the off highway loads...
